It is essential to use approved materials and proper installation techniques when working with natural gas lines to prevent corrosion issues.
What makes copper a better choice than aluminum to use for hot water lines?
Easier to solder /braze/ flair / compression
Is silver a better conductor of electricity than copper?
No, copper is a better conductor of electricity than silver. Copper has a lower electrical resistivity compared to silver, making it more efficient for conducting electricity. This is why copper is widely used in electrical wiring and transmission lines.
What are the different types of toilet water supply lines available for installation?
